When it comes to Brooks Nader, the only thing wilder than her tennis-inspired wardrobe might just be her rumored love life. The "Love Thy Nader" star found herself the center of the 2025 US Open buzz, for her courtside looks and for whispers that she was linked to both tennis heavyweights Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

But Brooks, true to form, had the perfect response when asked point-blank about it. During her Sept. 17 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," a fan asked the question on everyone’s mind: Did Jannik and Carlos know about each other?

So, is Brooks Nader really dating Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz?

Brooks didn’t miss a beat. “I would just say a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice,” she quipped. “That’s just not nice.”

But it was her sister Grace Ann Nader—seated right in the audience—who stirred the pot even further. With a sly grin, Grace Ann cut in: “Especially not to her other boyfriend.” The playful jab left Brooks briefly stunned, before she recovered with a grin and a shrug.

“Dating Is Such a Loose Term”

As the laughter died down, Brooks explained her stance. “I mean ‘dating’ is such a loose term these days. It’s just, you know, I don’t know,” she told Cohen, spinning the word with a nonchalance that left the studio scratching their heads.

But then came the mic-drop moment. “My only thing is, guys do it all the time,” Brooks said, raising her eyebrows. “So why can’t I do it?” Cohen himself stood up, leading a standing ovation that was quickly joined by fellow guest Mark Ronson

Grace Ann Fans the Flames

If Brooks is trying to keep her love life playful and undefined, her younger sister isn’t making things any easier. Grace Ann previously confirmed to E! News that the rumors about Brooks and Carlos “are true,” though she hedged with her disclaimer: “Dating is such a loose term.”

Still, she didn’t hide her admiration for the Spanish phenom. “I do know he’s the man of the hour,” she said, adding, “I’m dying to meet him. Such a cutie.”

That casual admission reignited the gossip mill, fueling speculation that Brooks might just be juggling two of tennis’s brightest stars.

Carlos Speaks—Sort Of

For his part, Carlos Alcaraz has been less chatty. While he hasn’t spoken publicly about Brooks, a Spanish journalist, Alberto Guzman, spilled some behind-the-scenes tea on the radio program "No Somos Nadie," adding:

“They are not a couple, it is not an official relationship,” Guzman explained, citing comments Carlos reportedly made to close friends. “He confirmed to his entourage that he is single and that he has no intention of having a serious relationship.”

Carlos Alcaraz has been less chatty.

So, is Brooks Nader really dating Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz? Or is she simply playing the game on her own terms? For now, it seems Brooks is happy to keep everyone guessing. Brooks knows how to stay in the spotlight. And if tennis is all about love, then she’s winning in straight sets.
